RK Publishing produces all Canadian products exclusively devoted to FSL in the Canadian classroom.

Our resources are created with the following goals in mind

to promote bilingualism and student retention in FSL programs by providing opportunities for students to succeed so that they see the rich rewards of continuing to learn French

to provide students with active learning opportunities and age-appropriate choices to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding

to create resources that develop in students a passion and understanding of the language and cultures of Francophone communities around the world

to address current research, education priorities, curricular requirements and pedagogical initiatives in the development of each new resource

We believe that it is essential that consultants, teachers and students have confidence in the resources they use from a publisher they can trust.
